My children, Xxxx, Xxxxx, and Xxx: You make me so incredibly proud! I love you beyond words. Xxxxxx, the love of my life: Thank you for ‘carrying the load’ while I worked to get this finished. I could not have done it without you. And Mom: not only are you the best eagle-eye proofreader on the planet, but you have also been my thought-partner, encourager, and the reason I became an educator. Thank you for being the best role-model a daughter, teacher, mom, and ‘almost grandma’ could ask for. This one’s for you! I love you all!
